Career

[edit]

Gallagher began her career, in the 1970s, researching the use of technology in education,[9] eventually becoming deputy head of the Audiovisual Media Research Group at the Open University.[10] She moved into gender and media research, including participation rates and portrayal of women in the media, in the early 1980s.[11]

In 1986 Gallagher established the European Commission's Steering Committee for Equal Opportunities in Broadcasting, which she coordinated until 1990. From 1989 to 1999 she worked on the "Prix Niki", the European Commission's biennial television prize for innovative portrayal of women and men. She has also acted as a consultant to a consortium of five European broadcasters for the development of an audiovisual training kit Screening Gender (1997-2000), and to the World Association for Christian Communication (WAAC) for the second Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP) (2000).[3]

In 2001, Gallagher became an associate of the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press (WIFP).[12]

Gallagher is currently Key Expert on Media Monitoring for the European Neighbourhood Barometer project "Opinion Polling and Media Monitoring" (EuropeAid, European Commission).[13]
